Best round of 64 matchups: In November, Villanova lost by 18 points at home to Columbia, which ended up last in the Ivy League. In December, North Carolina got blasted by 18 on the road against a subpar Texas team. Recently, the Wildcats and Tar Heels have been playing their best basketball. Plus, UNC coach Roy Williams will be playing for a chance to advance to a possible third-round matchup against his former team, Kansas, in Kansas City, Mo. Bonus best: South Dakota State guard Nate Wolters faces Michigan's Trey Burke and Tim Hardaway Jr.
